Hello,

has anybody figured out, how to view gnumeric files in mc (in
console/text mode)?

I am aware that this can be configured in /etc/mc/mc.ext, and I see
there is already section for excel files:

  type/^Microsoft\ Excel
 	Edit=true
	Open=(gnumeric %f >/dev/null 2>&1 &)
	View=%view{ascii} xls2csv %f || strings %f

Gnumeric has a utility ssconvert for converting into other formats. Can
I use it similarly as xls2csv in the example above?
